As a father of a one year old, soon to be starting childcare, and husband to a trained & registered Early Childhood Educator in Ontario, I can relate to a lot in this article. Care for my daughter nearly approaches my monthly rent, and more than exceeds the monthly income of a childcare worker in Ontario. It almost feels like a better plan to have mom not go back to work, but then she'll fall behind professionally, and the baby will lose our on many social development opportunities.
